By collecting food scraps at home for composting, people can reduce greenhouse gases and help create nutrient-rich soil amendments. Together we can keep organics out of the trash—and put this waste to better use!
How to Participate
Sign Up: Participants must register for the Household Organics Recycling Program.
Start Collecting: Upon registering, participants should prepare a way to collect their household organics. Special containers and buckets designed for collection of organics can be purchased in many places. The collection buckets are specially designed to reduce odors while collecting organics. To further reduce odors, you can freeze your household organics until you can drop them off at Dakota Prairie Composting.
Drop Off: A readily accessible, enclosed dumpster will be available for program participants during regular business hours at Dakota Prairie Composting. To drop off, simply check in with the scale attendant, show your participant card, head over to the designated dumpster, and ditch your scraps.
Repeat: It’s that easy! Continue collecting and recycling to your heart’s content and encourage your friends and family to sign up and do their part to keep organics out of the trash.
